Yes, if the concrete is not properly vibrated, voids can form and weaken the concrete.
Yes, you can pour concrete directly on dirt, but it is not recommended. Concrete poured directly on dirt will not last as long as concrete poured on a gravel base.
Gravel is typically used as a base for roads, driveways, and concrete pads. The main purpose of gravel is to add stability and support. It is important to have a layer of gravel under your concrete because it keeps the concrete from cracking and shifting. The gravel also allows water to drain away from the concrete, which prevents the concrete from cracking or heaving from freeze-thaw cycles.
There is no scientific evidence that vibrating concrete makes it stronger. However, some builders and contractors believe that vibrating the concrete as it is being poured into the forms helps to compact the concrete and remove any air pockets that might be present.

We utilise a vibrator to level out footings and walls at the construction company I own, where we dig and pour about 20 foundations a year. Our huge 110v plug-in vibe works excellent but is incredibly heavy and requires two persons to operate effectively. On our most recent pour, I just utilised this Dewalt for the walls, and I was VERY happy. The variable speed, which is portable and simple to use, is essential, especially when working close to doorways or drop-downs when you don't want to lose concrete to the lower level. On our most recent pour of 4' walls, I utilised 2 5amp batteries. Yes, even my wife enjoys it.

I run a landscaping business and frequently construct retaining walls out of blocks and pavers. Because of employee negligence, my old plate compactor was destroyed, and I didn't want to spend another $1200 on a replacement. I gambled and bought two of these, and I'm so glad I did. I've heard reviews saying that it digs in or leaves marks when you turn it; disregard those. It functions better than the plate compactor I owned and on par with comparable machines of its size. On a sharp curve, it will leave scars, but so will any other compactor.With the exception of gas, oil, and the need to unfold and rebolt the handle bar, it arrived fully completed. I took 15 minutes to unpack and set it up. To safeguard it for transportation, there were two metal square frames attached to it with zip ties on either side. simple to cut. great defense.In the far future, when my employees demolish these, I WILL purchase more.Save money and buy these instead of the other 5000-3500 lb compaction compactors that retail for between $100 and $150. more than the brand-name one I possessed. It must be lifted by two people. (I was concerned that it might be too little, but it wasn't!)Arrival took five days, including Saturday and Sunday.

This will be able to keep up with the pace even if only 1 or 2 people are working. Rent something larger if you're laying a concrete patio with three or four guys. We'll need to create hundreds of stone molds because this will easily handle the concrete stone mold work we're performing for the exterior wall. This is equipped with a lock switch so you can keep it going without having to hold it down, and the metal vibrating end slips directly into a 1-1/4 inch PVC pipe so you can rig up a holder to fasten it to a 4x8 plywood sheet for mold work.Important: To get it to lock into a vibration mode while turning it on, you must initially hold the hose downward. At first, I thought it was broken, but as I did, it began to vibrate abrasively.

This compactor did a great job of leveling polymeric sand on a sizable section of my driveway that needed repair. I set the engine at a medium speed, and it traveled smoothly. I used a length of burlap that I had rolled out to cover the pavers. After compacting, there were no damaged or broken blocks present.Its small size is ideal for storage and the wheels made moving it a snap.I am pleased that I decided to buy a compactor rather than rent one. I would be confident in the quality of products made by Dirty Hand tool based on my initial experience with this compactor.The absence of a separate engine manual was the only drawback. However, the compactor user manual contained enough information about it for me to feel comfortable omitting it.

I've needed this for years. After removing the shapes, there is no longer honeycomb. And the forms won't need to be hammered repeatedly. Just take care not to separate the motar from the gravel. We currently have between 43 and 45 Makita LXT tools, and in the past 8 years, we've broken 3 of them. Makita represents convenience, time, and money to us. making for days of 6-7 hours. All of our Jack hammers, 2" rotor hammers, 1 9/16 rotor hammers, 1 1/8 concrete saws, gas and electric core hole/9" angle grinders, generators, and small and large vacuums Makita and 10% Hilti are the tools. Always choosing Makita first

fun pastime Although a little noisy, videos and reviews clearly demonstrate it. Probably too noisy for a setup in an apartment. Mine is tucked away in the garage's nook.The outcomes were excellent. We just threw a bunch of rocks that had accumulated over the years with some haphazard gravel from the driveway because we had no idea what kinds of rocks should be tumbled together. Fun outcomes. Kids enjoyed it. In a little more than a week, we finished the first batch by following the instructions. We also bought the extra bowl for the finishing polish.
Sealing a new concrete is an important part of the curing process. It helps to prevent staining and fading, and makes the surface easier to clean. There are two main types of sealer: film-forming and penetrating. Film-forming sealers form a protective layer on the surface of the concrete, while penetrating sealers penetrate into the concrete to provide long-lasting protection.
No, not all concrete needs to be vibrated. Vibrating concrete helps to remove air pockets and voids that can weaken the finished product. It also helps to ensure that the concrete is evenly mixed. However, vibrating concrete can also cause the finished product to be more porous and less strong.
If you have a concrete driveway, you may be wondering if you should vibrate it. While vibrating a concrete driveway is not required, it can help to ensure a smoother, more even finish. If you choose to vibrate your concrete driveway, be sure to do so before the concrete dries.
There are a few potential disadvantages to using vibrating concrete, as opposed to traditional methods of pouring and setting concrete. One is that, because the concrete is in a liquid state when it is vibrated, it can be difficult to control the amount of vibration that is applied to the concrete, which can result in a weaker finished product. Additionally, vibrating concrete can also be more expensive than traditional methods, since it requires specialized equipment.
There are a few ways that you can vibrate concrete. One way is to use an electric vibrator. Another way is to use a gas-powered vibrator.
